Critic Reviews of "Short Circuit"
Gene Siskel Chicago TribuneApril 02, 2014The film has nowhere to go except to give us a predictable initial confrontation between Guttenberg and Sheedy over military weapons.
Desmond Ryan Philadelphia InquirerApril 02, 2014One of the stranger ironies to be found in Hollywood these days is that some of its most resourceful directors use high-tech wizardry and state-of- the-art movie technology to make films that rail against the tyranny of science.
Variety Staff VarietyJuly 06, 2010Scripters get credit for some terrific dialog that would have been a lot less disarming if not for the winsome robot and Sheedy's affection for it. Guttenberg plays his best goofy self.
Vincent Canby New York TimesMay 20, 2003The movie, which has the clean, well-scrubbed look of an old Disney comedy, is nicely acted by Miss Sheedy, who demonstrates a light-comedy touch not unlike Amy Irving's [and] Mr. Guttenberg.
Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 01, 2000It's basically a kid's movie, and quite possibly the kids will like it. But they'll have to be fairly young kids.
Roger Hurlburt South Florida Sun-SentinelApril 02, 2014Number Five is the real star of this energetic film. Sheedy, Guttenberg and company are just supporting players.
Gavin Bainbridge Empire MagazineApril 02, 2014A film that demands emotional connections with a robot whose voice is one of the most annoying ever produced. Give us Hal, R2-D2 or a barber shop quartet of Daleks any day.
Alan Jones Radio TimesApril 02, 2014Youngsters will love this hip spoof on hardware movies.
Paul M. Bradshaw Total FilmApril 02, 2014John Badham's Pinocchio story is sweet, silly and now charmingly old-fashioned.
David Sterritt Christian Science MonitorApril 02, 2014No movie with Austin Pendleton can be all bad, but this one makes a game try.
